It isn't anything about your comment, it is this thread
and the site in general. Bashing anyone, isn't what this place used to be about.

>i hate when someone is trying to race me and my wife is in the passenger seat and my son is in the back

>i hate when someone is trying to race me and my wife is in the passenger seat and my son is in the back

>It made me chuckle, I wasn't offended at all, It sounds like I hurt your FEELings.
I did not intend to. Most of the cars I grew up driving have been crushed by now.
I never got to go to driving school, my family didn't FEEL it was in the budget.
I have been driving since age 13, I used to drive flag rig for my stepdads wheat combine,
yes it is legal, it is considered a farm vehicle. I am 45 and have had one accident
that was my fault, 4 accidents total. I have driven fwd, rwd, 4wd, 6wd and a half dozen
or more track vehicles. Tanks, APCs, armored recovery vehicles as well as almost
any farm impliment you can think of. I can't afford to come drive your road course,
not that weather in the PNW would even allow it this year. I personally like back roads,
gravel, rocky, FEEL your head hit the roof roads. I don't think I am the greatest driver in
the world by any means. I am sure Skip Barber would not approve of some of my methods.
I personally like manuals because you can FEEL the engine turn over while
push starting.

My son bought an auto because his wife wanted an auto, and well, you know
how that gos. To some of us money is an object, he got a very clean
98 z28 with 60k for 6 grand.
I will tell you my kids don't look down on anyone, regardless of what they drive.
I am very proud of both of them. They are great human beings which has always been my goal.

I know I am too old for this place, and it is long past time to move on.
This site used to be a great one, it wasn't built on words like ricer or noob. I met people here
I would consider some of my closest friends, hell I even flew out to RI for a meet once, with
some help from those friends. Any one of them are welcome at my home any time.
I am sorry if I hurt your FEELings I did not intend to.

>At the end of the day it all boils down to who has the most money.

>I know none of this is my buisness and really care less and less everyday.
I personally don't see any difference besides title wording from this thread,
and you see how long it lasted.

>Lol dang rave2n why dont you tell is whats really on youe mind

This is different, there is no harm in this thread. We are all just expressing ourselves n having fun while doin it bro, plus its more of an interstesting thread like someone else pointed out that we are having an oppurtunity to see other members opinion and how different we all are and what we all like and dont like. Kinda hard to help others if u know nothing about them and this is exactly what that thread is helping with.

>No offence, but I don't have a whole lot respect for drag racing.
Yea, its impressive when cars are runnin 8 sec's, 6 sec's, whatever, but anything thats not unbelievable fast, doesn't seem like it takes a whole lot of skill either than hitting your shifts, and having the cash/knowledge to build a car.

Probably gunna get flamed, oh well.

>Lol, I don't get why you think I was bashing. Its MY pet peeve. If you and your son think auto is cool, congratulations.

Why do you rush to judge my driver skill based on not having 10 years behind a wheel? I am a far better driver then 90% of people with over 10 years behind a wheel.. I have actually taken high performance driving classes at Pacific Raceways. And not just in a Celica like you you probably are assuming, but in my Dad's Dinan tuned BMW. So please don't tell me I don't get the "feel" of a car! That is flat out rediculous that just because you are older than me and your license has existed longer than mine, that I don't know the feel of a car. I'm talking about track racing cars built to do so and you are assuming I just like to street race? I thoroughly enjoy driving on the track, and as Jordison stated, I LOVE the feeling of hitting your shifts through corners, etc. YES, the FEEL! I'm telling you straight up that it would be nowhere near that fun in an auto. I also enjoy drifting (I'm 5 minutes from Evergreen Speedway). Again, NOT happening in an auto. And automatic drag cars are pointless IMO. To me, the sport is all about the launch, not who can press the gas pedal down the fastest, haha.

It was just a comment about my pet peeve... Sorry it made you so upset, lol. That's just so rediculous that you think you need 10 years to get the "feel" of a car? I've had an 05 Audi A4 1.8t Quattro, ST165, my 6gc, AE86 GTS, and s13 (Guess none of those are driver's cars...) I've taken Car control clinics, gone to lapping days with my dad's BMW club, and done high perofrmance driving school. I was also a delivery driver for three and a half years. I have LOTS of experience, with LOTS of cars, so that is just an incredibly ignorant assumption. And yeah, let's see who can get a better lap around pacific raceways, srsly.

Goodness why does everyone's opionion need to be the same..its a freaking forum..

>I can honestly say that our Celica has an insane amount of feel. You can tell when your tires loose grip before the squeal, you can feel what's breaking, you can feel the roads texture, you can even tell wind direction. It's amazing how much this generation Celica tells you through the steeringwheel and seat.

>Oh and saw this the other night:




I wanted to break his window and steal his wheels. Sweet R34 Civic Toyota bro!


...and then there are things like this...


How turn, you do?

>I don't really have any hate for anyone into modifying their cars.......taste is subjective. Something may not be my style, but to each their own.

My biggest pet peave is really just how arrogant most "tuners" (and I use that term VERY loosely) are. They learn how to do an oil change or change their pads and all of the sudden everyone else in the world is an idiot.

Cars (more specifically modifying cars) are meant for enjoyment. That's it. Once it turns into a "look at that ricer over there" scene, it's not fun anymore. Maybe that guy is a "ricer", maybe we're all "ricers".....I have respect for people that do things to satisfy themselves, not the all-to-common, desperate for approval by their peers mob mentality that most seem to have now adays.

I respect passion and ingenuity and people who are honest with themselves about why they do what they do to their car. I don't have time for a-holes who don't do anything but JDM their car up and talk **** about everyone who doesn't.

>Im seeing more and more roof racks, why????

>oh by the way.... my BIG PET PEEVE has to do with TUNERS directly....
